Press releaseIssued by FTG Aerospace Tianjin and published as received — not written by Airframer’s editors.

Firan Technology Group Corporation announced today that it has shipped its 10,000th aircraft flight deck product from its facility in Tianjin China.

In 2010, FTG established FTG Aerospace Tianjin as a wholly owned foreign enterprise in Tianjin, China. The business was established to manufacture illuminated cockpit products and offer a combination of Asian content and a low-cost-country solution to FTG's customers around the world. In 2012, the facility achieved its AS9100C certification for manufacturing and shipped its first product. In 2014, the facility added design to its AS9100C certification and today we are announcing that FTG Aerospace Tianjin has shipped its 10,000th illuminated flight deck product.

“It has been amazing to watch the development and growth of our new facility in Tianjin. The team there has learned so much and has developed world class skills in illuminated cockpit products”, stated Brad Bourne, President and CEO, FTG Corporation. He added, “This accomplishment could not have been achieved without the support of many other people and organizations including our team at FTG Aerospace Toronto who provided technical training and manufacturing support, the Tianjin Airport Economic Area team who generously provided financial support, and of course, our customers.”

“I am proud of the efforts of every member of our team in Tianjin and they should be very proud of their achievements in such a short period of time”, noted Claude Bougie, President, FTG Aerospace Tianjin. He added “As we look forward, the future holds many new and excited challenges for our business in Tianjin including building an engineering team to support new designs, and moving into more complex products such as integrated switch panels and keyboards. We are ready for these challenges.”
